Univision anchor Jorge Ramos described Obama’s executive action on immigration as paying a “debt” to the Latino community. In an interview with Fusion colleague Alicia Menendez, Ramos denied that Obama had kept his promises on immigration in full, since he had pledged to take action in his first year in office. But Ramos concluded:
“What President Barack Obama is doing right now is paying a debt to the Latino community, and honestly, it’s an important victory for the Latino community.”
Ramos went on to say that the President must do more, and was still leaving out 6 million undocumented aliens that need help. Asked whether Obama had kept his promise, Ramos stated:
“Well, not exactly. What President Barack Obama promised during 2008 was to present during his first year in office immigration reform. And that would have applied to the 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country….He’s going to benefit more than 4 million people in this country, the undocumented parents of US citizens and legal residents. However, that would not include another 6 to 7 million undocumented immigrants in this country.”
Yesterday, Ramos wrote in an email to Time magazine that the Latino community had pressured Obama into this action:
“It’ll be a triumph for the Latino community…It’ll demonstrate our newfound power. This is not something that we got; this is something that we fought for.”
The debt? It must be those votes that were illegally cast for Obama in ’08 and ’12 by illegal aliens. Jorge Ramos, like his MSM counterparts, pretends to be an objective newsman.
Jorge Ramos, like all open border advocates, never mentions the dirty little secret about illegal immigration and how it affects the very people he claims to want to help.
Logically, if you were an illegal immigrant from China, where would be the best place to hide? Would you blend in more in the Chicago south side or in San Francisco’s China Town?
The majority of illegals are Hispanic, and they will naturally migrate to the barrios all across our nation. They will hide in plain sight there, and will also commit their crimes of identity theft, rape, drug dealing, et al, in the Hispanic community.
Obama did no favor for legal, and native born, Hispanics. He just made it so the criminals among them will continue to remain in the shadows, hidden in the barrios.
This man has a mental defect. Like a majority of ‘liberals’.
Liberals voted for Obola TWICE. And Supported Obamacare….I rest my case.
Illegal immigrant’s are not “owed” anything. This is the same kind of nonsense that has some blacks of today (who were not slaves) demanding slavery reparations (from those of society who are not slavers).
This is a slap in the face of all immigrants who did it the legal way. Do Democrats really think that legal immigrants who went through all the trouble to get here legally, and many more who went through the naturalization process to become citizens are going to support them? I think the Obamanites are being overly optimistic.
